Had my finger on the trigger to by an Alu Epic Comp as i liked the idea of an XC bike with the Brain so it rides like an HT on the road (need to ride few miles to get to local trails). Then stumbled accross the Nerve XC 7 and it looks great. It has the canyon anti squat technology and i want to know which bike is best and is anti squat similar to the Epic brain?

Sorry - Roadie come MTBer...

    no idea what the makers claim it to be but it is just the geometric configuration of the linkages so that the bike does not squat (sink) under the application of power (drive).

    can be found, but not mentioned, on may sus designs.
